Within an hour, I felt normal again. Before I went to sleep that night, I asked that this hole my energy body be healed permanently while I slept.

The next day, I found out that the “situation” that had triggered the heart memory was innocent –. As reminders go, this one was gentle.

And I continue to ponder: How do we change our emotional makeup? How do we transform age-old patterns – for good?

Perhaps your experience has been different, but it's almost like my deepest stuff visits now and then, as if to say: How are you doing with that now, Karen?

For me, healing the kinks in my unconscious hasn't been instant like extinguishing a flame. It's been more like slowing a pendulum swing. It's true that I've changed over the years. That I feel better than ever.

Yet there are some bits that go deeper than others.

Have you had an old, forgotten hurt pay a visit? If so, breathe, forgive and let go in the way that works for you... and imagine.
